Okay, I stole 60% of this from a friend's blog, but I changed the pictures to be relevant to my family. Thanks, Emily Alexander for being so creative!!!
“Now
there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, "Love your enemies."
It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a
power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being
friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it
too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with
guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that
transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your
love they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is
redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about
love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that
tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies. (from "Loving Your
Enemies")”
